Irfanview.

You can't get more minimal than this and functionality is covered via keyboard shortcuts.

>>57401499
the default one. it's just a basic software.
How autistic do you have to be to install a third party software?

>>57401499
When I was using Windows, I liked IrfanView a lot, mainly because it was free, lightweight and opened almost every picture file.

>>57401574
Can you watch animated .gifs on it yet?

I use honeyview. Wouldn't know if it's the best or anything, but it is certainly better than the built in crap. I don't even remember why I use it besides that fact.

HOW DO YOU PUT BLOAT IN AN IMAGE VIEWER
HOW

OP and this boy have such sweet plans. He wanted to prepare a nice dinner for his girlfriend to celebrate her birthday. So romantic. Then he met me and got seduced by the prospect of easy money. I think he would normally tell me to go away but he was a bit tipsy when I met him. He was at his friend’s place, had a few beers, and then head home to cook. Alcohol always makes my job easier. Still, I had to reach very deep into my pocket. Fortunately, he was open-minded. He even had some gay friends so he wasn’t scared by me like straight dudes sometimes are. He told me a funny story about a guy who offered him a notebook in exchange for sex. I had much better offer for him. I could tell he felt bad about it but he agreed eventually.

Its only flaw is it doesn't support .webm files which I need.

But other than that, it reads .zip .rar and .7z, so nice for loading manga chapters as well as generat image viewer.

>>57401992
webm is a video file, not image. It will never support it.

>>57401499
I use Honeyview for manga and shit. Default Windows 10 photos app for everything else. Although, I may just switch to Honeyview for everything.

I actually didn't like that feature and changed it so mouse scroll becomes next image(previous image.

Whoops, I meant to say zoom. I prefer mouse wheel to zoom, much more convenient.

>>57402249
I'm loving it. It's perfect. I've been retarded for so long and didn't think to look for a better photo viewer than default. Tried infraview but then there were some control issues or sorting issues I had.

>>57402541
What does this do?

>>57401705
>Also plays webms.
How do I do that? Tried several times but never got it to work.

>>57402562
>I meant to say zoom.
First time I've seen anyone prefer that.

Normally when you prefer it as general image viewer, you'd want the scroll wheel to page to the next image or previous image.

When you prefer it as a manga reader, you'd want the Zoom settings at Fit-to-Width, and the scroll wheel for vertical scolling, as well as paging to next image at the end of the scroll.

>>57402591
by double clicking or at least mine recognizes them by default.

Irfanview. Simple and solid.

Fastone Viewer.

>>57402080
The argument can't be made and won't be, because a GIF is still an image file.

Also, Windows' own photo viewer didn't support .gif until 10.

I just use mpv to view photos.

>>57402008
webm is a container that can display webp images though.

>>57402052
My nigger

>>57403127
That's a media player, right?
Is that practical?

How does it deal with images that are high resolution, for example:
http://i.4cdn.org/vg/1478369682025.jpg
?

I bet you can't even pan around the image at 100% zoom because the OS restricts your video player resolution.

>>57403163
It doesn't pan or zoom so if it's a very large resolution image and I want that functionality I just open the file in paint.

For basic image viewing it's great, extremely fast and basic (no GUI even) and I can just press Q to close the window. It Just Werks™

>>57402127

Doesn't it warn the user though? At least in Windows XP it used to do that.

>>57401499

>>57403197

This, this is why I like HoneyView it's as minimal as it gets. If only it had a more powerful integrated browser.

>>57403127
holy shit it works

thanks senpai

>>57402565
basically Adobe ripped the file browser out of Photoshop and tuned it into a standalone image viewer/organizer that can import/export between Adobe applications without providing too many opportunities for users for fuck it up

it's gud, and it's free

I also use JPEGview, but is there a way to remove the window?

How do I remove the borders like those ricing anons?

>>57401548
Irfanview is the best. I wish there were a Linux-native version.

>>57404847
they have border off on everything anon, not just image viewers

Imageglass or irfanview.
Image glass looks much nicer, but is like 1mb larger than irfanview.

>>57404847
In honneyview?

Configuration -> View - > uncheck show image borders.
And unckeck the lock in the upper right corner.

And it becomes a borderless image floating in your desktop.

>>57401548
Muh nigga!

>>57404879
How can I do that? I've tried getting blackbox and it didn't work at all.

>>57404926
I got irfanview since apparently it's the best. Is there a significant difference betweeen irfan, jpeg and honney?

>>57405441
No image viewer is best. It's just rabid fanboys plugging for for the only image viewer they know about.

>>57405472
y'all niggas don't even know bout muh nigga feh

Irfanview is great. Here are some of the features I like:
Plugin system allows you to install plugins for additional file types including things like text files.
Holding down the arrow key on your keyboard moves through hundreds or thousands of images VERY quickly.
Basic image processing accessible with easy keyboard shortcuts.
Batch image processing is intuitive and very powerful.
The options available for scaling to window or conditionally scaling based on size are good.
Portable version available.

Plasma.

>>57413009
You mean you want grey background behind the transparent layer?

Honneyview can do that. It can even do the checkered pattern.

>>57413056
The grey background is my Firefox's blank page background.
I want no background. Honeyview can't give me that, >>57412834 can.

>>57413075
I guess you should use that other program them.

For me when I browse any of my transparent images, I want a static preset background so I can properly assess the image, and not have my browser disrupt it with its content.

An image viewer isn't a fashion statement, nor is is a wall paper for taking fancy screenshots.

Maybe I'm blind, but is there not a way to have honeyview's window scale to the image? It only seems to be able to have images scale to the window size and not the reverse.

>>57413121
I just wanted to be a massive faggot. I mean, if there's no option for no background, it's not "as minimal as it gets".

>>57413172
Configuration -> Miscellaneous -> Adjust window to image size.

I don't particularly recommend this feature though.
When you have a minimalist image viewer with 0 borders, and 0 title bar, you sort of depend on know where to hover your mouse to get those options back.

>>57413207
Technically I didn't claim Honneyview was as minimal as it gets. Just that it's more minimal than irfanview (which was claimed to be the most minimal, so you should have pointed at him instead of me)

>>57401499

Its amazing how shitty windows is

>>57413172
>It only seems to be able to have images scale to the window size
And I don't recommend this either. Upscaling sort of ruins the image in my opinion.

Unless we can someday have some sort of image viewer that can temporarily upscale with the waifux2 thing.

>>57412834
Does Image Eye support .Webm?

It's the only feature I feel Honneyview lacks, since I do have image folders with both .gif, JPg, PNG and Webm file sin them.
An image viewer which can page through them all will be preferred.

Oh, it's in the new versions. I'd been using the last build that came from honeyview.org, I'd heard that the bandisoft versions were shit. Is there any real difference?

ACDSee

>>57413308
I'm using version 5.07 from bandisoft.

It has a shitty unwanted feature where, if I drag the image to check if I can pan around in the image, the whole window will be dragged around as if I wanted to move the window.

In the past I could always move the window by floating over the title bar and move with the title bar.
And if I dragged around an image, I would be able to check whether it would pan or be static.

I haven't updated it since then. Maybe I should beg in the forum or something to have them fix it.

>>57413231

I did point at both. And then there's >>57403356 who I probably should have quoted.
>>57413282
>Does Image Eye support .Webm?
No, why would it? It's a video format.

>>57413367
>No, why would it?
Because I have webm files in my image folders.
And I bet you do as well.

An image viewer's job is to be able to page through all the files in my image folder, why shouldn't it be able to?

>>57401591
Yes, actually.

>>57413391
>And I bet you do as well.
Very few, and none in folders that I actually do page through.
>An image viewer's job is to be able to page through all the files in my image folder
An image viewer's job is to view images. Not videos. Anything that has the functionality to view webms can likely view other video formats, and at that point it's not just an image viewer anymore.

>>57413402
Cool

>>57413472
>An image viewer's job is to view images.
No, an image viewer's job is to view whatever is in your image folder.
Definitions of media files can change over time, rigid dinosours such as yourself will become obsolete.

People on 4chan don't use webm as videos, they use them as enhanced .gif images. The usage pattern has evolved.

>and at that point it's not just an image viewer anymore.
No one gives a fuck as long as it can view what's in the image folder, instead of skipping content out of idealism's sake.

You can always cripple it so it can't play audio and free up resources that way.

>>57413520
>People on 4chan don't use webm as videos
Who gives a fuck how people use them, it's a video format through and through. Go get a bloated media viewer like Irfanview to scroll through your memes.

>>57413520
Here's a thought, maybe consider learning to distinguish between an image and a video, and then sort them accordingly?

"Whatever is in your image folder" can get pretty broad if you're this retarded.

>>57413559
>Who gives a fuck how people use them
Image viewer programmers should give a fuck about what the majority of people have im their image folders.
That's part of their job description.

You're so far out there, bound by your format ideology what you can't even admit you yourself is part of the evolution and have a need for it, since you yourself have mixed webm files into your image folders.

Way to back yourself up into a corner.

>Go get a bloated media viewer like Irfanview

Yeah, a grand total of 10. I don't care. Folders I actually have a reason to scroll through don't have any.
>Does that shit even support webm?
Not sure about webm in particular but I know it supports video files which was pissing me off back when I used it.

>>57413779
>Yeah, a grand total of 10. I don't care

Webm already is far more efficient than the jpeg trash you have in your folders.

>>57413808

>That number will only go up, not down.
Yeah, maybe in 3 years it will be 20, which I still won't have any need to scroll through. How horrifying.

You missed the "image format" part. Guess why you don't see anyone posting static images as webms.

its free, you only need to make a Adobe ID, install the Adobe Manager and select install bridge.
Its very handy for organize images, even if you have folders with 30k or more images in it, since it is my case.
I use Irfanview for see individual images for see better or make it wallpaper. Bridge has preview, but Irfanview works better to get a better look for a single image. Just make the defaults select a image viewer and not the photoshop.

I only need to disable the services and the startup stuff from adobe, to avoid get useless stuff running in backgroud.
